1The word of the LORD came to me:1Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2"Son of man, of all the woody branches among the trees of the forest, what happens to the wood of the vine?2“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any other branch among the trees in the forest?
3Can wood be taken from it to make anything useful? Or can anyone make a peg from it to hang things on?3Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can one make from it a peg on which to hang utensils?
4No! It is thrown in the fire for fuel; when the fire has burned up both ends of it and it is charred in the middle, will it be useful for anything?4No, it is cast into the fire for fuel. The fire devours both ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for anything?
5Indeed! If it was not made into anything useful when it was whole, how much less can it be made into anything when the fire has burned it up and it is charred? 5Even when it was whole, it could not be made useful. How much less can it ever be useful when the fire has consumed it and charred it!
6"Therefore, this is what the sovereign LORD says: Like the wood of the vine is among the trees of the forest which I have provided as fuel for the fire--so I will provide the residents of Jerusalem as fuel.6Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the people of Jerusalem.
7I will set my face against them--although they have escaped from the fire, the fire will still consume them! Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.7And I will set My face against them. Though they may have escaped the fire, yet another fire will consume them. And when I set My face against them, you will know that I am the LORD.
8I will make the land desolate because they have acted unfaithfully, declares the sovereign LORD." 8Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
